The Columbia Pike Documentary Project is a multi-disciplinary history of Columbia Pike in Arlington, VA, one of Americas most-ethnically diverse communities.
Paula Endo, Lloyd Wolf, Mimi Xang Ho, Duy Tran, Aleksandra Lagkueva, and other team members have been using photography and oral history to document life along the Pike.
The project is sponsored by the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization

Abut half the work will return to its original home in the offices of CPRO, the Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization, and the other half will be moved to a fifth floor exhibition space at the AMCC. The work will still have a home and a presence along the Pike.

The Arlington Presbyterian Church building, which is over 100 years old, has been sold. It will be demolished, and a 173-unit affordable housing apartment complex, to be named Gilliam Place, will be erected on the site, to be developed by the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing. The church has moved to temporary quarters, and will still be using the space in some form after the construction has been completed. Stone from the church will be incorporated into the facade of the new building.
